Chapter 14: Saber VS Lancer
Adjacent to the eastern part of the seaside park is a warehouse street, which also has harbor facilities, separating Xindu from the industrial area further east, and at night there are almost no people here, and the dim lights illuminate the street but only show an empty scene, and unmanned cranes are neatly lined up on the seashore, looking like huge dinosaur fossils, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
And this is the perfect place to conduct a duel between the Servants.
Saber and Alice Fell walked the wide four-lane road with dignity like a brave duelist, while the enemy stood boldly in the middle of the road, and the strange dress of the other and the strong magic he exuded showed that the other was an unusual being.
The two Servants stopped at a distance of about ten meters from each other, confronting each other.
This is the first Servant Saber has ever encountered, and a battle involving her life is about to begin, and she observes them carefully.
The other man tucked his long hair back to his head, and Saber realized that this was actually a man with good facial features.
His weapon is quite eye-catching, a spear about two meters taller than a human, and three of the seven ranks are in the "Knight" seat, Saber, Archer, and the "Spear" Heroic Spirit. And the man in front of him should be the Servant named Lancer, the Servant who fought Ziggy before.
From the handle to the blade, the two spears are wrapped in a kind of charm-like cloth, making it impossible to see them for what they are, and I am sure that they came up with a countermeasure to hide the true name of the treasure.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for a long, long time, but no one dares to come here...... The only one who responds to me is you. Lancer's Heroic Spirit complimented in a deep but clear voice, and instead of a battle stance, he asked Saber with a complacent expression.
"Quite a fighting spirit...... I think you're Saber, I guess right. β
"Yes, you're Lancer!"
"Exactly...... Ha, I didn't expect that before the death battle, I could introduce myself to my opponent so ordinarily, but I couldn't help myself. β
Saber agreed, her cold expression softening slightly.
"It can't be helped. It's not for our own honor, it's for your master, you should have offered your gun to your master. β
"Hah...... That's right. β
He didn't look like a man who was about to fight with his life, but instead smiled with a wry smile on his face, looked at him carefully, and found that he was actually quite a beautiful man.
The high bridge of the nose, the awe-inspiring eyebrows, the delicate facial contours, and the delicate lips make people feel strict and ascetic, but the gentle and melancholy eyes make people strongly appreciate his masculine charm, and the tear mole under his left eye makes his eyes even more charming.
Speaking of which, he is indeed a beautiful man who can fascinate a woman at a glance...... No, he gives people the feeling that he really just relies on his looks?
Alice Phil behind Saber furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
ββ¦β¦ A magic trick of seduction? What a faux pas to a married woman, Lancer. β
Lancer boldly unleashed the spiritual power to charm women, and Alice Phil, who was strengthened as an artificial human, had twice the ability to resist magic as ordinary people, otherwise she would definitely be as captivated by him as ordinary women.
In response to Alice Phil's protest, Lancer had to shrug his shoulders with a wry smile.
"I'm so sorry, I've been cursed since I was born, but there's no way around it, if you want to hate my birth, or hate you as a woman."
This is the "magic eye" that represents the charm curse, and only Saber is looking directly at him, and Alice Phil behind her does not look into his eyes. Perhaps what made his ability work was the moment Alice Fell saw his face. This may be the "magic face".
Saber snorted, scorning Lancer.
"You won't be expecting mercy on you because of that face, Lancer."
"If that's the case, it would be boring, I see, the anti-magic ability of the Saber class is really extraordinary...... It's okay, if I were asked to kill a weak woman because of this, then I would also lose face. When I decided to wait here for someone who had the guts to come to the door, it seemed that I had made the right move. β
"Oh? It seems that you want to have a good fight, and it is really my honor to meet a heroic spirit like you. Saber replied with a smile and an exaggerated smile, a smile that was transparent and tragic and could only be read by the warriors who were born and died.
"So...... Let's go. β
Lancer lifted the spear he was carrying on his shoulder, swung his backhand back into a fighting stance, and slowly raised the spear in his left hand, the two spears were spread and waved like wings, a fighting stance that had never been seen before.
Saber also unraveled the surging fighting spirit. The burst of magic stirred up a whirlwind of air in the air, and the air flow enveloped the girl's petite body, and in an instant, her whole body was wrapped in silver armor, and the magic turned into armor and gauntlets. And this is the true face of this knight king Yingling.
βSaberβ¦β¦β
Alice Phil swallowed nervously and called out her name. Drawn by the strong fighting spirit exuded by the two, she was already keenly aware that there was no room for her to intervene in this battle.
However, she didn't want to be just a bystander, at least she was a substitute for Saber's Master.
ββ¦β¦ Be careful, although I will also use some healing spells, but the rest will ......"
Saber nodded without waiting for her to finish.
"Lancer, please leave it to me, it's just that I'm a little worried about why the other party's master didn't show up."
As Saber said, Lancer's Master, who has not yet appeared, is still a stand-alone threat. Normally, the Master will be by the Servant's side, directing the Servant while performing the necessary magic support, and as long as Lancer's Master does not fully trust his Servant, he must be hiding nearby, watching Lancer's battle.
"Maybe he has some kind of conspiracy, you have to watch out, Alice Field, I'll leave my back to you." The emerald eyes were silently speaking, undaunted.
Trust the Heroic Spirit of the Sword.
Believing in this heroic spirit who sees itself as the master is not so much trusting in his own decisions.
ββ¦β¦ Understood, Saber, bring me victory. β
"Yes, I will." Saber nodded firmly and stepped forward.
To Lancer, to his spear......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After receiving the signal from Alice Phil, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuyu Maiya followed the signal and hurried to Warehouse Street, where they were greeted by a silent silence.
With only the whistling of the sea breeze in my ears, and the deathly silence and stagnant air, the night was so peaceful.
But......
ββ¦β¦ It's already started. β
Relying only on the aura of magic coming from all around, Kiritsugu correctly judged the situation.
Someone opened an enchantment, and it seems that it should have been done by the master of the enemy Servant, in order to isolate ordinary people from the Holy Grail War, hide the real scene, and not expose their actions to the public, which is the rule that magicians must follow.
Holding a ten-kilogram alien sniper rifle in his arms, Kiritsugu began to think about himself, according to the signal from the transmitter, he already knew the specific location of Alice Field, but the question was, how to get close to it, where to observe.
He had no idea of going to war at all, so he brought a sniper rifle. He wanted to stand in a suitable position to observe the battle, and if necessary, use a sniper rifle to attack.
The Servant is not human, so the only one who can injure the Servant is the Servant, and no matter how powerful Kiritsugu's and Maiya's guns are, they will not work for the Servant at all.
Saber's mission is to fight against the opponent's Servant, and as long as the opponent can concentrate on the battle and not be distracted by the Master's safety, then the battle will have a chance of winning.
"Looks like it's a good place to watch the battle." Maiya said as she pointed forward.
It was a crane towering in the dark night, and after visual inspection, the height of the wheelhouse was about thirty meters, and if you can quietly climb to it, it can be said that it is the best place to watch the battle.
Kiritsugu didn't disagree with Maiya's opinion, but because of that, he shook his head.
"It's true that it's the best place to be spied, so I'm afraid it's not just us who have an idea."
ββ¦β¦β
There was no need for Kiritsugu to continue to explain, but Maiya already understood his intentions.
"Maiya, you sneak in from the east bank, and I'll ...... from the west Find a vantage point where you can observe Saber's battle and monitor the crane. β
"I see."
Holding an AUG assault rifle, Maiya trotted into the shadows of Warehouse Street, and Kiritsugu cautiously moved in the opposite direction while confirming the transmitter's reaction.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
All Alice Fell could do was stare at the battle in front of her.
The battle in front of her was going on extremely fiercely.
She knew that it was a brutal duel that would only happen in that distant era.
The samurai in armor fought each other in the shadow of swords and swords.
However, the burst of magic and the torrent of heat made her feel different.
If it's just a clash of cold weapons, then what is this ensuing powerful air flow that seems to destroy everything.
The feet that stepped on the ground crushed the earth.
The air pressure brought by waving the weapon cut off the street lamp alive.
Alice Phil could no longer see their super-fast movements, and she could only feel the aftermath of the battle between the two.
The iron sheet on the outer wall of the warehouse, like twisted tin foil, had been swept away by Alice Phil's side, and she couldn't understand why the iron sheet was peeling off, presumably because Saber's sword or Lancer's gun had grazed the space-time void nearby. Other than that, she couldn't think of any other explanation.
The wind whispered.
Faced with a space that is completely opposed to the physical laws of the world, the surrounding air emits a nervous mourning, and a frenzied storm rages on the deserted shopping streets, destroying and trampling everything.
A white-knuckle battle of just two people can ruin an entire street.
Holy Grail War......
Alice Phil was feeling the threat and consternation of the legends, and the world of legends and myths was just coming alive before her eyes.
This is simply a reproduction of myths.
Thunder tore through the sky, waves shattered the earth, and the world of fantasy was miraculously recreated.
"That's what it is...... The battle between the Servants...... "Alice Phil was faced with a world she had never imagined, and could only stare motionlessly.
At this time, the same consternation appeared in Saber's mind.
For her, killing on the battlefield is as commonplace as everyday, and as a warrior who lives and dies on the battlefield, fighting enemies is as skilled as using a knife and fork.
In her impression, the so-called "gun" should be a weapon that is waved with both hands, which is common sense.
So she thinks that Lancer is only trying to confuse the enemy by using two guns at the same time.
As the heroic spirit of the Throne of Guns, the gun in his hand must be his treasure, and in the Holy Grail War, being able to discover the true body of the Noble Phantasm is equivalent to revealing his true name.
Therefore, the charm wrapped in Lancer's gun must be to hide the body of the gun, and he and his Master seem to be quite cautious in hiding their real names.
If so, then it is not difficult to explain why he used two guns at the same time.
Not knowing which one was the real Phantasm, Saber had to be on guard against both guns.
So, now we just need to figure out which gun is the "real gun".
There is a difference between the "virtual" and "real" moves used between her own weapon and the weapon she uses to confuse her opponents, so Saber focuses on each of his moves, believing that if she recognizes the real gun, her chances of victory will be greatly increased.
